SEC Warns of 'Additional Action' If Teams Don't Wear Masks on Sidelines

The SEC has warned football teams they could face discipline if they don't wear masks on the sidelines during games.

In a memo obtained by ESPN's Alex Scarborough, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey wrote that teams will be subject to "additional action" if they don't follow COVID-19 protocols:

"This past weekend, many fulfilled the requirements established by the Task Force and your commitment to these new requirements are appreciated. Others, including some head coaches, assistant coaches, support staff and student-athletes need clear reminders of the requirement they fulfill the new health protocols intended to minimize the potential spread of COVID-19.
